She now lives in the Canton of [[branches:canton:Caldrithig]], in the Barony of [[branches:barony:Skraeling Althing]], and has lived here for several years. Marina is one of Ealdomere's Cooks, having cooked many feasts at the end of her 1st and well into her 2nd decade in the SCA. She enjoys the creativity of trying out new dishes; as well she loves cooking for many people and feeding them sumptuously. Marina cooked for several feasts, including Baronial Investitures for [[people:Xristina Viacheslavova]], as well as Dame Eleanor Cadfan and Sir Mencken Brechen. Marina also did several feasts and lunches for Petrea Thule, and has helped in various other feast kitchens. Her most recent achievement was cooking a late 15th century Catalan feast for Coronation in the Barony of Skraeling Althing. Marina considers the development of a menu and the testing of dishes for a feast an art; whereas she considers the cooking and serving of a feast a service. For over 20 years she has been researching and serving Rus food. Marina has also served for many years by teaching classes at Practicum. Often she has taught an embroidery class and/or a cooking class, but on at least one occasion she has broken out of the mould and taught a class on the history of medieval brasses and one on how to teach adults. Marina has participated in several Trillium Exchanges, and is also a member of the White Wolf Fian. She first challenged in with the research and cooking of a late period Rus meal. Marina's re-challenge was to research and build for herself an embroidery stand and slate frame in order to bring to events and have a more period presence. ===== Interests ===== * [[activities:arts_sciences:Cooking]] * [[activities:arts_sciences:Embroidery]] * [[activities:arts_sciences:Fibre Arts]] * [[activities:arts_sciences:Illumination]] * [[activities:arts_sciences:Painting]] * [[activities:arts_sciences:Research]] * Rus History and Culture * [[activities:arts_sciences:Woodworking]] ===== Awards ===== * **[[awards:order_of_the_wain|Order of the Wain]]** - February 24th, 2024 * **[[awards:order_of_the_laurel|Order of the Laurel]]** - November 9th, 2019 * **[[awards:Order of the Crucible]]** - July 6th, 2015 * **[[awards:Award of the Maiden's Heart]]** - September 4th, 2004 * **[[awards:Award of Orion]]** - November 30th, 2002 * **[[awards:Order of the Hare Salient]]** - January 19th, 2002 * **[[awards:Award of Arms]]** - November 4th, 1995 (Middle Kingdom) ===== Other Activities ===== Marina is a proficient embroideress with a wide range of techniques in her repertoire.
